Charles King

  General Notes:

from http://home.comcast.net/~tinasgenealogy/surnames/king/loupero/michael/michad13.htm
Charles King (Charles, William, Michael the Elder) in 1748 was living on land in Bertie County on Rocquist Pocosin purchased by his father in 1742. Rocquist Pocosin is not to be confused with the area around Salmon Creek where their King cousins lived. The 1742 deed in which the land was purchased by Charles King identifies him as being from Chowan County. He did not live in Bertie County as shown by tax records. It is likely that the land was purchased for his sons. It will eventually be shown that all five sons of Charles King lived on Rocquist Pocosin at one time or the other. In 1748 Charles acquired additional land from [his brother] William King and the deed from William identified Charles as "my loving brother".
Charles King lived on this land and additional land that he purchased the remainder of his life. His first wife was Judith Wimberley, daughter of Thomas Wimberley who died in 1752. The marriage was probably between 1750 and 1755. Charles later married Mildred Benton on 12 December 1787. He wrote his will in Bertie County in 1817 and died the following year, probably about ninety years of age. His will and estate papers identify his children. Other information pertaining to the children are from land records.
